Read the full statement (137 words)
The V.A.C. Ulta Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is an integrated wound management system that provides
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with an instillation option.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in the absence of instillation is intended to create an environment that promotes wound
healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema,
promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material.
The instillation option is indicated for patients who would benefit from vacuum assisted drainage and controlled delivery
of topical wound treatment solutions and suspensions over the wound bed.
The V.A.C. Ulta Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System with and without instillation is indicated for patients with
chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure and
venous insufficiency), flaps and grafts.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
